At what moment did you feel old?

Today I gave out to a teenage girl for spitting on the street. I told her it was a scummy thing to do and she should stop doing it. She correctly told me to fuck off and mind my own business.
That made me feel old.

In before some 25 year old says, "Now when I stand up I make a grunting noise omg I'm ancient!"!!!

When I read this thread and could remember the 100 times its been done before.

I believe a stick for stirring paint and/or keeping an old pair of shoes for gardening are the correct old stage of life.

I was playing minecraft and this guy started helping me out and talking to me. Thats grand and all but this lad seemed a little bit simpler than most people. Turns out he was 8, or so he says.

Im only 20 but that made me feel old

When I had to tick the 25 to 34 age bracket check box instead of the 18 to 24 one on forms...

When my cell replacement and regeneration became progressively unreliable over time, leaving my immune system weaker and more likely for mutated cancerous cells to develop and lead to an increasing level of decrepitude we call old age

Yea, I felt a little sad when I bought the first toaster with the Mrs. Such a grown up thing to do.

The first time I was referred to as Madam rather than Miss.

When some lad said to his little brother sitting in front of me at a match to stop waving his flag because "that man can't see"

3ndahalfof6 · 18-07-2012 09:13PM

now, as it took me till post 6 to notice it was old not odd.

Ted_YNWA · 18-07-2012 09:13PM

was in Lidl last year & a woman in her mid 40's front of me was getting a few bottles of wine & asked for ID ......

I was getting a few cans & ya think the teller would ask someone 26 for ID

When you realise that half your age + 7 means you can shag a 24 year old

18-07-2012 09:19PM

When there's a great stretch in the evenings and there's grand drying out.

I've a weird thing where I can remember dates and stuff very well, but ask me what happened at the weekend and I won't remember. So anyhoo, this year is a big one for me in that it makes me feel very old... it's ten years since I started secondary school, ten years since my first kiss, ten years since I heard the first album I ever really loved...

Also- "I used to be with it. Then they changed what 'it' was. Now what is 'it' seems new and scary to me... it'll happen to you!" That came into my head when I first heard skrillex. just didn't see the appeal at all, and realised what I think of as ''teenage music'' is actually old now...

And nothing ages you like having to do the food shopping for yourself- "But it's half the price in Lidl!", "Ya can't beat Tesco's for bargains!" are sentences the young, trendy me would never dream of saying. But that me is dead now. :P

This morning When, mammy told me to put my own marshmallow in my hot cocoa.

She done it for me the past 14 years. But it really brought a tear to my eye, as my cocoa just isnt the same anymore.

Was in a meeting with a guy who looked 60 - I, the smartarse, said, in deference to his age and erudition .............

"Well, you probably have a few years on me, and you'll have seen this before"

Turns out we are the same age, 36.

Mother of God. Do people look at me and think the same???!?

admiralofthefleet · 18-07-2012 09:26PM

i saw a fit girl in the pub a few weeks ago wearing a greyhound skirt. instead of salivating i thought to myself 'jaysus, she'll be cold going home'.

Eathrin · 18-07-2012 09:27PM

A guy said to his kid today as I was walking by; "watch out for the man there"
Since when did I become "The man"?

At what moment did you feel old?
